In 165 B.C., the Greek ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanies put a ban on proclaiming the holy name of the God of Israel. This ban is recorded in ancient Jewish sources: "The Greeks made decrees to eradicate Israel, ordering them to deny the kingdom of heaven, to declare that they have no portion with the God of Israel, and not to mention the name of God on their lips."Scholion on Megilat Ta'anit, 3rd of Tishrei
It took one Israelite man and his five sons to stand-up against the pagan king and his unholy commands and to call a remnant of their countrymen to stand with them against the unholy ban. Through three years of desperate fighting, Judah the Maccabee led this remnant in liberating Israel from the iron grip of their Greek persecutors. Their cleansing of the Temple in 165 B.C. was celebrated as the first Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication. The dedication of the new altar was accompanied by the biblical practice of calling on the name of the God of Israel. This dated back to the time of the Patriarchs who "built an altar there and called on the name of Yehovah" (Genesis 26:25).
This video presentation is for all who are ready, willing and able to "stand against the ban" that continues in synagogues and churches around the world regarding the prohibition of proclaiming God's unique name. This program is a part of a 12-episode television series entitled His Hallowed Name that aired on a Christian television station at the beginning of 2011, but has since been canceled after this 6th episode was shown to the world. Since the cancellation of the rest of the series and the ban from the stations bookstore of the accompanying book, His Hallowed Name Revealed Again; the proclamation of the information, inspiration and revelation of our heavenly Father's name has continued to go forth around the world.
The digital version of His Hallowed Name Revealed Again is now available as an iBook in iTunes stores in Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, the United Kingdom and of course in the United States! The international "stand against the ban" movement is gaining momentum!
Therefore My people shall know My name; Therefore in that day I am the One who is speaking, 'Here I am.'
